The opening film of October's 54th London Film Festival will be Mark Romanek's adaptation of the tricky Kazuo Ishiguro novel Never Let Me Go.

It’s not quite a world premiere (the flick will be unveiled at Toronto in September), but, featuring home talent such as Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrea Riseborough, the picture should suit London nicely. Our own Domhnall Gleeson is also on board.
